The difference between dice and dice

Dice is a common object in games, usually a six-sided cube with one, two, three, four, five and six points engraved on it. Legend has it that the invention of dice can be traced back to Cao Zhi in the Three Kingdoms period. Dice was originally called "dice rolling" because the outcome of the game is decided by dice rolling.

The earliest dice were mostly made of wood or bamboo, and later they were gradually made of animal bones, so they were also called "dice". Figuratively speaking, the part of the dice comes from bones and is pronounced as "tóu", and the word "dice" is also pronounced as "tóu zi" instead of "sh m 4 i zi". The word "sh m 4 I zi" is usually used to refer to the common name of dice. This is because the color of the points displayed after rolling the dice is often used to judge the outcome, so it is also called "dice".
